WTF are you talking about? The D&C has beaten Slaughter's attendance record like a dead horse. It's been mentioned in articles about her three days in a row.

"But isn’t it fair to wonder whether sending someone who will by 83 years old to Washington is wise? Isn’t it fair game to talk about her poor attendance record?" - Nestor Ramos , May 6, 2012

"Slaughter missed 83 votes, or 8.7 percent, in 2011. This year, she missed 16 votes before her April 2 fall, and 41 votes after, or 29 percent of the votes so far this year" - Jill Terreri, May 5, 2012http://on.rocne.ws/Jph8oU

The difference in coverage between the Buffalo News and the Democrat & Chronicle is simply astonishing.

I consider myself to be a news hawk, and its clear that Louise Slaugher has gotten a free pass from the D&C on the matter of attendance. Prior to the stores that appeared in the D&C in the last few days, I cannot recall reading ANYTHING in the D&C about Slaughter's attendance.

anon 12:56, WTF are YOU talking about? "beaten her attendance record like a dead horse." Are you INSANE?!? The D&C ADORES Slaughter and has done everything it can to protect her and cover up her failures over the years.

It's a JOKE to suggest that the newspaper goes after her as aggressively as they do Republican candidates or electeds.

The D&C DESPISES the GOP and for every "attacking" story they write about a Democrat, they writes HUNDREDS about republicans.

And if you suggest any reason other than the FACT that the newspaper is BIASED you my friend are not from this universe!
